asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Swap between callers

Hello

On business phones it is often possible to have call waiting (think that is 
the feature) whereby if you are talking to a caller you can see another 
caller has called and you can swap between callers.  For example, to say 
hello, I am on call with someone else now can I call you back.

How can this be implemented using SIP IP phones.  Do you need to setup two 
or more lines?  How is it done?

Angus

This just works with many phones with a single line registration, such as
the Polycom IP501.
